Blair says the playa is really dusty this year, but the weather is glorious,
and hot, but not too hot.

MOTA, Mona, Bryan and Dennis each appear to be headed out
Wednesday morning. As Dennis suggests:
"I shall leave from work Wednesday evening - ... And is"the grader" still
around ? I don't remember seeing it for a couple of years. How about
directions on the grader (if it's there) and if not then at the base of those
BLM signs just as you drive onto the playa at the 12 mile exit?

And so we don't get confused and follow some other group's directions -
let's proactively identify our directions as being to:
PASTOR DODGER'S DESERT BIBLE STUDY

Looks like we have a race between Mona, Mota and Me...
I remember the grader being gone also...
So how about this...
Whoever is first...
"PASTOR DODGER'S DESERT BIBLE STUDY"Put directions on the
grader (if it is there)
otherwise, put directions on the BACK of the BlackRockCity playa ramp
sign.

General directions (paraphrased from Dodgers post):take 12 mile ramp
following track along the NW edge of the playa (towards Solders Meadow)
When the Black Rock is due East (there may be a pole/tower still there)
turn East and head for the (wait for it) Black Rock.
[take care to look for wet spots]
About 2-5 miles before the Black Rock should be the place.
About:
GPS40°54'42.8" -119°06'11.2" - BURNINGMAN 96
or a little North and East of there.

You're receiving this e-mail because you at one time
express some interested in accompanying some folks to
Black Rock Desert for the 4th of July. I tried to err
on the side of inclusiveness. If you dont want to be
on all the e-mails
uhhh
sorry, let me know and Ill
try to pull you off.

Okay, here's the (lack of :) details for meeting on
Black Rock for 4th of July:

Seems like the first person (Dennis Hescox?) will be
arriving sometime midday Thursday or slightly later.
Is anyone thinking they might be there earlier?

If the first person there can pick a spot, and post
directions on the road grader.

Were shooting to camp west of the Black Rock and the
Black Rock springs, in a non-windy/dusty area, perhaps
easy commuting distance from the Space Lounge people.
(SpaceLon says: we'll be where we've been for the past
three years, up near Black Rock. we'll camp close but
a comfortable distance away from you, or you guys can
camp a comfortable distance away from us if we arrive
first.). This is the general area where we camped for
the 4th of July in 99, 01 and 02 (for 4th of
Julplaya and Nephology).

Basically, you go to the 12 mile on-ramp (thats the
one 12 miles N of Gerlach), head north on the Soldier
Meadows road (the one that leads further up the playa)
and when the Black Rock is on your right, head towards
it and find the camp. Ill firm up directions a bit
when I get near a map.

Whos coming: look at the list above. I invited
people from nephrology, the new moonie list, the diox
list, and other friends of mine. look at the list
above (now about 42 people). Some of them might be
attend.

Whos invited: you. Your close friends. People you
think really oughta be there. Youre clever, be a good
judge about whether theyre a good addition..

Whos not invited: more huge groups of people. If
they wanna come out, its be great for them to camp a
small distance away from us in their own group.
